How is Moissanite Cut?

The quality of the cut is the most critical aspect to consider when it comes to Moissanite, much like it is for diamonds. A high-quality cut is crucial to creating the desired level of sparkle and fire, and without it, even a top-quality Moissanite can appear lackluster and unimpressive. In fact, poorly cut Moissanite stones may even appear fuzzy or murky in appearance.

When Moissanite cuts are made with the proper proportions, light is returned out of the top of the diamond (which gemologists refer to as the table). If the cuts are too shallow, light leaks out of the bottom; too deep and it escapes out of the side.

A Moissanite's cut quality refers to the stone's proportions, which determine how much light is returned out of the top of the stone, or the table. If the cuts are too shallow, light will leak out of the bottom, while cuts that are too deep will cause light to escape out of the side.

Interestingly, cut quality is even more important than a stone's color or clarity. However, unlike with diamonds, gemological grading reports are not always available for Moissanite stones due to the high cost of certifying each stone. Therefore, it is important to purchase from a reputable company that has expertise in evaluating and selecting the best-quality Moissanite cuts.
